Good experience with the cooking class. The host has good patience, even though the event was delayed due to the navigation of the place not being according to the website description (not the host's fault, but the company's). When you try to contact the host via email (according to the website), it can take several minutes of delay. Here it is good that before the event you have contacted the host. Finally Sakura-san came to pick me up, which was very kind. Similarly on the way home she went with me to the nearest train station to lead me to the right destination. As a result, all the dishes were made according to the descriptions. But there were two more dishes that were (bonus) not planned. But I am happy to try them. In summary, it was a good experience, despite the complications. But the host is helpful and helped me. In addition to the authentic food (which some claim to be simple), there were dishes that were prepared with love. The host gave good advice on Japanese food and typical food related to Sapporo and Hokkaido. //Minh

Kanae was wonderful! She understood my wife's dietary restrictions and prepared printed English-language instructions for the Japanese meal that we would prepare together. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Not only did she teach us how to prepare the meal from scratch, while preparing the meal she explained what we were doing and answered questions. The meal was delicious. During the meal, the conversation was interesting and enjoyable. She made us feel comfortable in her home and a few days later, when we had a minor medical emergency while still in Sapporo we called for advice. She was so helpful and even helped us make a doctor's appointment at a local clinic. In short - we highly recommend this workshop!

Perfect class. I took the class with my 24 year old daughter. I’m a home cook who loves Japanese cuisine. Shiori is a professional chef with lots of teaching experience. She genuinely wants you to be successful and has adapted her recipes with tricks that make it easier while maintaining top notch taste and presentation. My daughter and I can’t wait to try her home style sushi approach at a family gathering we’re having in a week. Aside from the lesson, she prepared a once in a lifetime meal fit for an emperor. It was quite unbelievable, everything was so good and plentiful that I don’t think I’ll have to eat for a week. Ingredients were top rate, which is a basic requirement for a top chef. On top of all this, she was so kind that she made us feel like close family/friends even sharing some family history and showing Japanese cultural “treasures” that my daughter and I showed interest in. She has significant international experience and her English is great. As a foodie and serious home chef, I have been to many cooking classes around the world and if I could, I would rate this a perfect experience. Learn and enjoy with confidence, if you are lucky enough to be able to book Shiori’s class!
